Recovery Sooner Than Later?
The market is supposed to be a forward-looking discounting machine. It’s supposed to price in what’s expected to happen over the next few months and years. Is the market perfect at this? No. If it were, there would be no real opportunity to do well in it. The market is, however, very good at incorporating…
Wasder-congrats. I’m happy that all is well with your newborn.
I have seen on this thread some great options if NYC wasn’t predicting further job losses with 165K or more on the table. And when times are good for you, life looks grand. But there are others out there. I would actually place the real figures of unemployment and underemployment around 15-17%. Clearly this makes for difficult job searching and the rest.
I would love to get back to work, but I can’t. A year ago I was struck down with a neurological disorder that has no cure at this time (Dystonia). I made sure that I had LTD, and I also received my Notice of Award for SSDI just last week, and I’m just giving cards to friends to let them know how much I appreciate their support and concerns. I can’t do much more than that. I have been humbled.
So I just want to suggest that we please be nicer to each other, whether it is with affluent friends, working poor, unemployed or just taking it day-by-day.
I like you also I disagree. I appreciate those who don’t need everything sugarcoated and who are free thinkers.
I’ve enjoyed some of our back and forths very much…I think you have a lot of good things to say, despite our occasional arguments.
Nokilissa,
You put that into words much more eloquently than I could have. While I don’t plan to be a d*ck to anyone here, there are certain things that just get me going.
You’ve pretty much nailed it, and please know that none of this is personal for me. It’s just a blog. I know some are into bstoner for new friends (which I think is great) but I’m here for fun and for good back and forth, whenever possible.
I do love Brooklyn about as much as humanly possible, which makes all this really easy for me.
i like 11217. he is unpredictable. and lets the claws out sometimes. maybe 11217 is foxy brown? think about it.
Nokilissa, glad I saw you here now! Did you see the places I posted for you on the House of the Day Thread for you? I think you left before I posted them and was afraid you missed it. Have a look and let me know what you think. I though 161 Hicks looks pretty good.
No it is because when the market was going up all the buyers and homeowners said it was the market forces and that we has to bow our heads to the free markets will. Everyone was glad to own million dollar homes and no one worried about the thousands of families which were forced out of their childhood neighborhoods because of speculation. Now that the market is imploding and prices are going down way down way way down to China down those same buyers want government relief and don’t want to hear people say that the value of their home is going down. Well tough suck it up it is the market forces at work.
Dave,
I DID! I DID!
Dying, DYING I tell you to talk about it.
I also suspect I’ll go into withdrawal come next week.
You?
ugh there are some serious haters in this thread. you people don’t get foxy brown at all do you 🙁
the ill na na
“Why are you taking such glee in being so cold and nasty to me?”
Uh, Cobblehiller just chill. You see 11217 wants/needs attention. This the first time that this Asshat is acting like a Asshat!
Folks there are people who believe they will be alright during the implosion of the Mutant Asset Bubble but, history tell us otherwise. So sit back and relax, their arrogance and smugness will burn them.
Remember about a year and a half ago, all my predictions came true and still the Asshats are in denial…
The What
Someday this war is gonna end..
BTW You better read about the Atlantic Yards implosion taking place right now! You see after they announce that Atlantic Yards, you will people heads explode!
